Ideal Applicant
A small- to mid-sized nonprofit or school-based program in the foundation's home region—particularly scholarship programs, high school activities, arts groups, or local community funds—seeking modest unrestricted or program support.
Good Fit
- • Located in the foundation's home state and serving the local county or school district.
- • Work focuses on scholarships, high-school programs, dance/arts teams, or community nonprofits.
- • Asks for grants in the modest range (typically under $10K) and for general operating or program support.
- • Has a clear local connection or referral (e.g., partner schools, community foundation, or previous small grants).
Geography
Observed giving is overwhelmingly in one state, with about 97% of dollars staying in the foundation's home state and only very small out-of-state support.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct grantees across schools, arts groups, a community foundation, and a research charity, and the funder added multiple new recipients in recent years, indicating a moderately diverse recipient set for a small family foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new grantees and published application information suggest unfamiliar applicants can win funding, but a large share of dollars goes to recurring local beneficiaries and scholarship routes are explicitly targeted, so access appears plausible but selective and relationship-influenced.
